Kurdistan, the biggest State-less nation in the world (with 40 millions inhabitants) is divided into four States: Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. The majority of the territory and kurdish population (20 million) are inside turkish frontiers. With no civil and political rights, the language persecuted for decades. Closed as in a prison, as they themselves say, the only friends that kurds have are the mountains.
